Citroen E C4 Sense + (2021)
2021 Citroen E C4 Sense +
CarHunch analysed 191 real MOT records for the 2021 Citroen E C4 Sense +. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Citroën e-C4 Sense+ passes its MOT on first attempt 81.5% of the time, marginally ahead of the UK average of 80%, so reliability is broadly in line with what you'd expect from a modern electric car. Dangerous defects have affected 12.6% of the fleet tested, which is moderate and not a major red flag, though worth noting if safety is your priority.
At 24,478 miles median mileage, these cars are running low for their age, suggesting either modest annual usage or recent acquisitions—this actually paints a favourable picture since you're looking at relatively lightly-used examples. The average of 0.51 failures and 2.4 advisories per vehicle tells you that when things do go wrong, they're typically minor niggles rather than structural problems; focus any pre-purchase inspection on the battery health and charging system, as those are the components that define an EV's long-term value.
What to check before buying a 2021 Citroen E C4 Sense +
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
